What poem? she wonders, until Tom shows up with the goods.
Hard to pick a favorite verse out of the batch, with the idea of a stirring nail creating a fine picture by itself, and these two adding weight for of consideration.
Punctuated birds on the power line In a studebaker with the birdie joe joaks I'm diggin' all the way to China with a silver spoon While the hangman fumbles with the noose, boys
You got to get behind the mule In the morning and plow
Pin your ear to the wisdom post Pin your eye to the line Never let the weeds get higher than the garden Always keep a sapphire in your mind Always keep a diamond in your mind
With punctuated birds, power lines, silver spoons, weeds, fumbling hangmen and hole diggers appearing as spinning spouts on the horizons of Levity and Life, fixing one's eyes and ears on wisdom and the line while focusing on beauty and whatever else a diamond might represent, comes through as sound advice!
I'd never seen that video, MamaM. Those were the people who, as Hank Williams put it, knew what the back side of a mule looked like. We had hurricanes and tornadoes back then plus horses and mules that had to be convinced to get in front of those plows and pull on days when they didn't feel like it any more than the sharecroppers who walked behind them.

Stirring my brandy with a nail, said the poet.
Looks like Fred's stirring up The Dude with a twister.
Hurricane Fred hit, it didn't look like that, but it did sound like that.
Lock it down and keep the animals indoors!
The storm passed over and all is well. It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.
Saw a water spout in Florida once. Pretty cool.
I was swimming in the Atlantic when one formed not far from me. They require too much energy to last long, I wasn't concerned.
You are too sexy for this party!
That is true.
